Horace G. Peaslee were paired to learn of his
death, which occurred June 26th at his home
in Park a fter a painful illness of four months
of a complication of diseases. He was a son
of the late Washington and Jane (Gilchrist)
Peaslee and was born in Prospect in ]&>9,
coming to Searsport with his parents when a
boy. He began to follow the 6ea with Capt.
William M. Carver in the ship Susan Gilmore
and continued in that ship until he became
second officer and remained in her until she
was wrecked on the coast of Australia near
New Castle. He later sailed in an official ca
pacity with the late Capt. Henry T. Lancaster
in the ship John Bunyan, and in other vessels
on the Pacific coast until he retired from the
sea and returne d to Searsport to make his
home with his mother on her farm in Park.
He was employed as a house carpenter for
many years and was an efficient workman and
a most agreeable companion with his fellow
workmen. He was very popular with the
town people during his long residence here.
In early life he married Miss Mary C , the only
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. John C. Blanchard,
who survives him, and he is also survived by
one brother, Merrill H. Peaslee of Searsport,
who have the sympathy of the community in
their sad bereavement. The funeral services
were held at his late home Wednesday after
noon and were largely attended. Rev. Thomas
J. Martin of the First Congregational church
officiated and the interment was in Bowditch
cemetery at Park. The bearers were Capt. F.
- N. Park, J. A. Park, L. C. Eaton and
W. C. Pendleton... .The news has been
received of the death last week in Minneapo
lis, Minn., of Mrs. Ssrah E., wife of Milton
I Kneeland. No particulars as to the cause of
her death have as yet been received. She was
the daughter of the late Foss and Emily
(Lane) Hamilton and was born in Searsport,
July 20, 1848. After her marriage to Mr.
Kneeland 6he resided in Searsport for many
years, and was engaged as a fashionable dress
maker^intil their removal to Minneapolis sev
eral years ago. She was a woman of beauti
ful character, a loving wife and mother, and
had many friends in Searsport who regretted
to learn of her demise. She is survived by
her husband, by two sons, Eugene and Ray
Kneeland of Minneapolis, and one daughter,
Miss Emily F. Kneeland of Minneapolis; by
three brothers, Warner T. Hamilton of Minne
apolis, Charles C. Hamilton of Winchester,
Mass., who was in Minneapolis at the time of
her death, and Josiah L. Hamilton of Sears
port.
Senator Burleigh’s Public Service.
No man in Maine has enjoyed a longer term
of public service, or laid down his burden at
the end with clearer title to the plaudits of his
fellow citizens, than the late Senator Burleigh.
His life was singularly free from attempts at
“fireworks," but it was always to be remarked
of him that he was “on the job." The State
that he represented in the r ational house and
senate knew how to depend upon him and its
trust never was betrayed. If the man who
goes* to Washington to succeed to Senator
Burleigh's place learns to do only measurably
as well he will be numbered among the men at
taining to high success in the public life of
Maine.—Rockland Courier-Gazette.

Hurrah for Hughes! Stockton Progressives
gladly join the incomparable Roosevelt in his

American in the opening Presidential cam

of preventing a continuance of the ruinous
Wilson policies, which have proved so disas
trous at home, and humiliating abroad, for the
past three years.
The lecture on “Preparedness,” delivered by
Rev. A. A. Blair, under the auspices of the
j Current Events Club, in the Universalist
church on the evening of June 28th was an ex
cellent literary effort clearly and forcefully
presented teaching the true spirit of neces
sary preparedness throughout the entire coun
try, not for aggession, but for purposes of
defense against aggression from others. The
address was listened to attentively by a good
sized audience, and at its close, at the sugges
tion of Albert M. Ames, expressed its appre
ciation to Mr. Blair by a rising vote of thanks,
unanimously responded to by all listeners.
The club members, individually, extend
thanks to Mr. Blair for his gratuitous contri
bution to their pleasure and knowledge upon
this important subject, so vaguely understood
by our citizens.
The peaceful quiet of the early morning of
July 2nd was broken by an alarm of fire and
the ringing of the church bell, which called
the people to the doors, but with our present
adequate water supply it did not inspire their
hearts with terror, as in the olden days when
the hend-engine and the bucket brigade were
their only safeguard, and despite the valiant
efforts of our citizens were often of little avail
in the terrible conflagrations which several
times swept the whole north side of Uain
street and adjacent buildings. The fire this
time was a slight one at the home of W. W.
Smith, occasioned by the burning out of a
chimney the previous afternoon. It had
smoldered unknown to the occupants and at
3,30 a, m. had broken through the roof in a
small place, but was extinguished by buckets
before the arrival of the hose carriage.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is catarrh. Catarrh being
greatly influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Care is taken internally and acts thru
the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the Sys
tem thereby destroying the foundation of the »
disease, giving the patient strength by building !
up the constitution and assisting nature in do
ing it work. The proprietors have so much
faith in the curative powers of Hall’s Catarrh
Cure that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.
